36 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES ~ Almeria.—The administration of the free port of Almeria was granted by royal order dated February 20, 1922, to the Compania de Depositos Comercilles del Puerto de Almeria, a Spanish concern. However, the royal order provided that the concession should not be exclusive; that warehouses destined for the storage of goods from foreign countries should be entirely separate from those receiving goods of domestic production, for convenience as well as for the pur- pose of guarding the interests of the national treasury and business. It was provided that all installations deemed necessary by the customs authorities, and all customs services of intervention and vigilance should be for the account of the concessionaire, which body must comply with all general regulations in effect relative to the adminis- trative control of commercial deposits. Bilbao.—The free port of Bilbao is administered by a consortium or board composed of representatives from the provincial deputation or assembly, the chamber of commerce, industry, and navigation, and the board of harbor works of the city of Bilbao. This board of mana- gers or directors has power to intervene in judicial affairs, or with the public authorities or private persons; name, suspend, or discharge employees and fix their salaries; rent and acquire lands, buildings, machinery, and other furnishments or real estate; execute and contract for all classes of construction, works, and supplies of materials; con- tract and accept subsidies, donations, legacies, and sign public or private documents; emit loans, warrants, and all classes of receipts for merchandise, and contract guarantees of emission and assurance; and determine the operations to be reslized in the deposit and the tariff applicable, and rent to mercantile enterprises various or all the services of the exploitation of the deposit. Barcelona. —The free deposit of Barcelona is administered by a semiofficial body entitled the ‘Consorcio del Puerto Franco de Bar- celons,” under a concession granted by authority of royal decree of October 24, 1916, and royal order of December 7, 1917. The actual operation was leased by this body to the Credito y Docks de Bar- celona, a banking and warehousing institution. Saloniki—The Greek free zone is administered by a commission established under legislative decrees of February 15 and March 27, 1923.
